3.5.7. RCA Register
The 16-bit relative card address register carries the card address that is published by the card during the card
identification. This address is used for the addressed host-card communication after the card identification
procedure.
3.5.8. Industrial Grade SD Card Registers in SPI Mode
In SPI mode, all the card’s registers are accessible. Their format is identical to the format in the SD Card mode.
However, a few fields are irrelevant in SPI mode. In SPI mode, the card status register has a different, shorter,
format as well. Refer to the SPI Protocol section for more details.
